Water pumps located in your basement can be either a shallow well pump (<32’) or a jet pump. Deep well jet pumps are designed to pull water up from depths greater than 25 feet up to about 200 feet. A shallow well pump will only have one pipe going to the well. A jet pump will have two lines going to the well.
